Letter: The challenge of disability

I am writing in response to the article in the Feb. 21 issue titled "People First members honored." The article stated, "People First is a self-advocacy group of mildly challenged individuals." The truth is People First is a self-advocacy group for all people with developmental disabilities, whether mildly or severely challenged or somewhere in between.

I believe having a disability is a huge challenge that people face every day with a courage I will never know.

"Courage doesn't always roar, sometimes courage is the quiet voice at the end of the day, that says I will try again tomorrow." (author unknown)
